Tempting indeed. I think that all PK users should get one before the realize that the cool kids don't make their lenses in a PK mount. Reading about it, it is also funny how many people think that 1:2 is the same as 2:1. Pentax made only one macro lens that does 1:1 and that was the old preset Macro-Takumar. The rest are all 1:2. This lens (at 2:1) is 4x that.
The number of aperture blades (and round aperture) should make for lovely bokeh.
